High-Ceilinged Loft Living at 244 Madison Ave, #10A
Welcome to Apartment 10A, a sprawling, pin-drop quiet sanctuary in the heart of Midtown South. This isn’t your typical New York one-bedroom; it’s a pre-war loft characterized by grand proportions and soaring 12-foot ceilings.
The expansive, loft-like living room features custom built-in bookshelves and ample space for multiple seating areas. A raised dining platform adds a touch of architectural flair, perfect for hosting dinner parties or a sophisticated home office setup.
The Kitchen: A chef’s delight, the renovated eat-in kitchen boasts full-sized stainless steel appliances—including a wine fridge and dishwasher—paired with custom cabinetry that maximizes the verticality of the space.
Primary Suite: Retreat to the quiet bedroom wing, where you’ll find a dedicated dressing area with a built-in vanity. The king-sized bedroom includes a quiet home office nook and a substantial walk-in closet with additional overhead storage.
Bathroom: The updated, modern bathroom features a sleek double-standing shower and high-end finishes.
